{ exceptional suggestion of the third di-

advantage as a theme for this picture 
is the old Greek myth recounting the

Which also bélongs to Mr. Talmage; but 
this latter. more, popular work. a very 
dainty, pretty thing, nevertheléss, has its 
jmerita. The Raebuin and the Jawrence, 
both portraits of women, are good reép- 
‘vesentative examples, but there is little 
more to be said about them. Hoppner's 
“Mrs. Jordan,’ on the other hand, strikes 
a more penetrating note; it is a bewiteh- 
ing bit .of characterization and it con- 
tains some lovely color. Tt is its fresh, 
brilliant color that partictilarly distin- 
guishes Gainsborough’s “Duke of Clar- 
ence;” that and the adroit, individualizcd 
brush work which tell in the pa 
of certain paits of the costume. 

“There are other old English pictures, of 
importance in the show, among them the 
most satisfying Turner we have seen here 
in years. It is,a water color, the “‘Fiuelen;

he made for the elder Ruskin. The pict.

being the simple truth with which Turner 
expresses the mountain forms in the back-

nature are in this work. Prismatic as it

water color like this worth a. thick

sale prolably made a record for its size—] 
the.fotal wa’s not as high as had been antici-#

supprises.~ Mt had been confidently predicted, 
that: $400,000 would be reached or passed, |_ 
butthere cannot well be two Borden sales | 
jin one season. 
The ballroom was fairly well filled, but} 
ithe bidding and buying, as at the Borden|

h jKnoedler & Co., who sold Mr. Talmage 
most of the pictures; Scott and Fowles, Dr.

sito Messrs. Wm. Sloane, O. S., Seymore, | 
jA. G. Jennings, E. J. Cornish and P. W. 
Rouss. The fine Romney brought the high- 
jest figure of the sale, $40,100, and the Turner 
jwatercolor at $14,400 made a record.

A FAIR-HAIRED young Dutch girl in a dark skirt, light waist—her 
sleeves rolled up—and with a bluish-white kerchief about her head, is 
seated in a humble home doing some knitting beside a homely cradle. 
She faces the spectator, her figure turned slightly toward the right, 
and looks down attentively at her work with the light falling brightly 
on her from above and the left. On a table near her a flowering plant 
is growing in a pot, and behind her is seen in tones of mottled brown 
a door with a square lintel.

craft of the Old World are strung for a considerable distance along 
the river, yet appear as in a group, with their tall masts and varied 
sails rising boldly against a light sky. Its thin clouds of fleecy white 
are tinged with a faint pink flush. A square-rigger is near the center 
of the picture, the other craft being single-masters, and their canvas 
ranges from gray-white to a creamy yellow and a buff-pink. The 
gently moving water of the river is mottled with reflections of the 
clouds, the sails, and the dark, brown hulls, and in the distance smoke 
rises from a steamer’s funnel, close in by the shore. In the fore-— 
ground men are rowing a heavy small-boat. The picture is full of 
color and atmosphere.

beneath a blue sky in which there are large, heavy clouds of creamy- 
white and brownish-gray. Below, the water of the foreground carries 
many reflections, a confusion of boats appears along the shoreline, 
and a heavily laden boat with a single sail is in the center of the stream, © 
which in the right mid-distance is crossed by a stone bridge of two 
arches.

PEASANT LEADING A COW 


Height, 1424 inches; length, 20 inches 


On a light but sunless day, the sunshine screened by all-prevailing 
gray, vaporous clouds, a Dutch boy in patched trousers and sabots is 
leading a Holstein cow along a rutted farm-road, between cultivated 
fields where green growths appear above the dull brown earth. The 
boy and his charge are close in the foreground, the cow lowering her — 
head toward the roadside grass, coming toward the spectator. A 
mass of low trees bounds the distance on the right, and toward the 
left—beyond a single distant church that rises against the horizon— 
all is flat land as far as eye can see.

The foreground of water extending across the picture is burdened

poles rise against the sky above the tops of the town buildings before 
which they are seen. The reflections of boats and buildings enrich 
the water with deep notes of color, while the blue, and the white clouds, 
of the sky, brighten it. At the left, on the land, what appears to be

TuE half-length figure of a young woman standing. She faces thel | 
left and is seen in profile, a strong light from in front of and above 
her falling upon her pale, clean-cut features, which are delicately de- 
lineated. She inclines her head slightly forward, just enough to per- 
mit her brow to afford her eyes a partial screen from the brightness. 
Her mahogany-red hair projects from a black scarf or mantilla which 
she wears over her head and shoulders, and her black waist, slightly 
open at the throat, is adorned there with a single bright red flower. — 
Her right hand catches folds of her garments at her breast; the left, 
dropped lower at her side, does not come into the picture.

stands up in the dimmed radiance of a cloudy moonlight night. In a 
cleft of the near-by hill a cottage is built, its upper story projecting 
above the hillside and its ancient roof glistening softly in the lunar 
light. The blue sky—showing a single star—is all but concealed by 
wide-spreading, thick light clouds, through which the full moon is 
struggling to appear.

AN undulating line of dunes extends across the picture, against a low 
horizon. ‘To the right and overhead the sky is a dark gray; toward 
the left its clouds are whitened near the horizon. Beyond the crest of 
the dunes is the sense of the vast sea, with naught visible agamst the 
sky above the coarse grass of the dune-tops but the projecting head 
of a stout old shepherd, who on the hither side of the largest dune 
stands with his dog beside him amidst his flock. He seems to be gaz- 
ing far over the dune-crest and the sea. The sheep, a large flock of 
them closely bunched, are all headed in that direction, away from the 
spectator, but are moving slowly, as they graze. :

ground, its shallow bed broken by small, upstanding rocks. Slender 


and stouter trees of picturesque trunks and clustering foliage are gray 
and green against a light-blue sky, whose thickening white horizon 
clouds are turning yellow in the sun; and to the left and in the dis- 
tance rise steep or rolling hills, green near by and blue afar. The 


swift-coming brooklet is white where the sun hits its hastening waters.

THE spectator, in the shade of a ae s edge, is looking over - the 


brow of a hill out upon a br oad, sunlight-flooded plain through which 
a silvery-gray river takes its slowly winding course. The trees in \ the 
left of the foreground overspread a road over the hill, on which a soli- 

tary horseman is making his way toward the abrupt descent that leads 

down to a village of the plain, whose roofs and steeples are visible 
beyond the hill’s crest. The shadowed foreground at the right is rich — 4 

in the red and brown autumn hues of the coarse herbage, interspersed -_ 
here and there with green patches. There is a sense of vast distance 
in the outlook over the plain, glowing in sunlight, as it is seen in con- 
trast with the rich but shadowed foreground. Far-off hamlets are 
within the extensive view, and tall trees of the distance are reflected in 
the silvern river whose banks they line. sft

THE FERRY BOAT 


(Panel) 


Height, 7 inches; length, 16 inches ca ; 
enn) ls Ve LYIVGANY 
Tue ferry boat, a flatboat hauled across a narrow river by a line, is 
used by a farmer to carry over his cattle, and some cows appear in it, — 
one with her head over the side to take a drink from the river as the ; 
boat lies with its nose on the bank at the left. The farmer is in it, — 
and also an old woman who stands among: the cows. Other cows ae | 
appear on the bank, and washerwomen are at work on their knees at 
the stream’s edge. Above the green, sloping bank which a farm road 
ascends from the river is a group of gray-white farm buildings with 
brown roofs. Beyond them tall trees, green and yellow, grow along 
the bank, which becomes lower and broadens out down to the river,

placid river shows a few white ripples here and there, and mirrors the ~ 
woods of its banks. The light sky is filled with fleecy, cream-white 
clouds, touched with pink and gray-brown, and the air is clear.

THE Oise—a fluent shimmer of blue, green and silver-gréy reflections — 


-—traverses a landscape placidly joyous on a bright 4nd peaceful 
summer day, the abodes of men shut out by trees or hills and only 
nature seen on every hand. The sky is a beautiful turquoise-blue, 
underlain by active and pervading cumulations of the aerial vapor in , 
tones of gray, white, cream and purplish-brown, which thicken toward 2 
the horizon. On the right, near the foreground, the bank of the river 

is a low, wild green field. On the left and extending nearly across 

the picture the farther bank has a low, irregular border of green 
grass, back of which lines, groups and masses of short and tall trees 
give variety to the cool, green and sunlit prospect. Under the fore- 
ground bank on the right the figure of a man is seen bending over 


in his punt.

disappears over the crest of a low hill where at the left a brown cot-

cottage, on the left, is a thick clump of trees, with reddened bushes 
growing below them by the wayside. A peasant is crossing the road 
toward the cottage, his figure seen in full sunlight, which illumines 
curling masses of gray-white clouds that are swirling across a deep 
blue sky. On the right, however, the darkening clouds of a summer 
storm, or shower, are gathering and coming on, their advance edges 
just entering the picture.

A sBroap path through an open part of the forest is seen in fhe left 


foreground, where it passes amid huge blue-gray boulders which are 
crusted over with green. Among them short but sturdy trees have 
found root, and at the foot of one of these a peasant woman in brown, 
white and red is seated with her back against the trunk. ‘The path 
touches the edge of a pond in the middle distance whose still water 
reflects the trunks and foliage of a clump of green trees on its border. 
Beyond is a flat green field in sunshine, and in the distance are rounded 
hills. The sky is thickly bestrewn with light gray-white and brownish 
clouds. —

A roap so little used that it is well grass-grown enters a glade between 
sloping banks, where blossoming wild flowers, kissed by the sunshine, 
brighten the loose, tall grass. The silvery-white trunk of a slender 
and sinuous birch tree stands out from a group of Corot’s feathery 
trees on the right, while on the left some stouter and darker trees rise = 
above the picture. Beyond them a line of green and rounded hills — . a

of the roadside, some in shadow, and one who wears a bright red waist 
and a white cap in the sunlight.

THE canal filling the foreground is a deep blue-green, and in the dis-- 
tance to the right of the center the water seems to connect with a pale, " 
greenish-blue sky, with suggestions of pinkish and faint purple clouds 
near the horizon. The spectator looks across the canal, toward the 
left, to the mass of the white and pink Church of San Giorgio Mag- 
giore, with its imposing facade and massive dome, overtopped at the 
extreme left by the campanile—all in strong sunshine, which causes’ 
their reflections to brighten the dull canal. On the church plaza are 
people in varicolored costumes, and the canal is dotted with gondolas 
and light sailing-boats which cause white ripples in the water. 

The Palladian Campanile of San Giorgio, which appears in this painting by Guardi, 
tumbled in 1774, breaking up a service and killing a monk, and also injuring two others. The 


tower was rebuilt later by Benedetto Buratti, and in its present form has the conical top 
. with which visitors are familiar, resembling that of ‘The Campanile. a

Yo to = 


IN a severely plain interior, whose walls and beamed ceiling give a 
background of olive and mahogany-brown, a group of friends are 
struggling with some music. A man in a broad-brimmed hat, broad 
white collar and pale-red coat sits at a harpsichord, his back to an 
open casement window, striking desultorily some notes with one hand 
and holding a music book open on its rack with the other. A young 
woman in a pale-green skirt and brilliant golden-yellow overskirt 
and bodice, low about bust and shoulders, sits in front of the instru- | 
ment with a music book on her lap, gazing dejectedly at the floor 
as though discouraged or out of spirits. Another young woman in 
an ermine-trimmed cloak behind her looks over her shoulder at the 
music, with a languidly smiling and half-interested expression, as she 
keys up a lute. An older woman is entering the room with a wine-— 
glass, from a doorway through which a sunny street and walking 
figures are seen.

A roap from the foreground passes through a Ai between tree- 
topped rocks, which rise at either side against a pale-blue sky where : 
light cirrus and cirro-cumulus clouds float in bright sunshine. In the =a 
middle distance the road makes an abrupt descent, the top of a cov-. 
ered wagon being seen on its way down the farther side. At the 
crest are two figures, in sunlight, a man on horseback and a woman 
walking beside him, and another man is seated on a rock by the road- 
side in the foreground. The figures at the crest are looking out 
over The Weald, a great plain of pasture lands and groves, the trees — 
appearing in sunshine and shadow, with flocks grazing in various 
places, and in the distance a square tower or steeple rising above the 


horizon line.

by a ford. A boy in a blue coat, with a red necktie, who has just — 


forded the stream on his brown donkey, is riding up a gentle rise into 

the foreground, and his dog turns to look at a young woman in red, 
who has come to the brook with her water jar and stands leaning 

against the single hand-rail of a narrow foot-bridge.

THE mountains tower to right, to left and in the background, their | 
stupendous flanks full of color. On the right they are green and 
blue as well as red and yellow, and on the left, which is in higher light, 
a reddish-yellow predominates, with suggestions of a green tinge. In 
the distance they appear in a luminous haze of subdued but bewilder- 
ing iridescence. In the valley of the middle distance the buildings of 
the town are scarcely less colorful, grouped about the shore of the 
lake, on which in the foreground are seen many boats and rafts with 
figures bright in the sunshine, while the water is filled with dazzling — 


reflections of baffling hues.
